86242ls, can i mount my stock t-bolt iggy & coil to that bracket?
These are some nice looking pieces of beauty, keep the pics comming.
Thanks all.

86242ls, did you protect the polished alum with powder coat or just fight the oxidization on the polish.
What did you use if protected?

Yes, you can mount the stock thunder bolt ignition to it. It was all raw polished aluminum, I would polish it with aluminum polish. Never had a problem with oxidation I boat in fresh water.

This is what I'm working with now clean stock stuff. Plan to add some nice valve covers over the winter.

How often did you need to polish?

I would polish at the beginning and end of the season

Every week.

I clicked on your pic -- is that the boat ramp in Fox Lake Illinois??? If not it really looks similar to it -- very close to Gordy's-- oh yea -- very nice pics of engines. I don't know how to post pics - but would love to share. I have been accused of being too clean!!

That would be the same boat, took that picture at Ben Watts after putting the boat on the new trailer. I use photobucket to host pics since I'm not a paying member.

I'll participate

nice mills :ernaehrung004:

I want to play!! :)

I started out with polish but it was a constant pain to keep looking good! I also wanted to pull some of the outside colors into the engine compartment so ended up powder coating the valve covers and air cleaners black and then making vinyl decals!

Before and after!

Nice guys.

AXAPowell -- what LED set up did you buy? Link??

Think it was a Street Glow kit with the audio control box. Been a couple of years since I installed it.

Dave

Very nice!
